Great Tales from English History (3): Captain Cook, Samuel Johnson, Queen Victoria, Charles Darwin, Edward the Abdicator, and More

all books from this series are fascinating & absorbing, told with wit & expertise.

For those who are daunted by 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire', this is a 'dip into' taste of history.

very interesting

As with Lacey's previous 2 books in the series, this one is nothing short of superlative. The writing style is very straight-forward and direct, which leads to a highly entertaining read. Shame the series could have not been larger/longer--truly hated to see it end.

Just as the two previous volumes in this series, this was an enjoyable and easy read of the highlights of British history. High School history classes would be more fun if they used this book instead of the traditional textbooks.
